Once again, that statement simply isn't correct. RCD is a generic term for all residual current devices which includes RCBOs.This board has no RCDs

What guts?
And wasn't you waffling on about no such thing as non combustible the other day?
Honestly the people that post on this forum, you wonder it they ever worked in the real world !

Is the existing board metal clad?? If not then the board needs changing to comply with current regs.
Just to let you chaps know , did some one ask about moving a consumer unit in scotland in bunglow recenty on this forum?
Let me explain, you are moving the board from one location to another. You will be disconnecting all the cables and supply to the board. You want to strip the board down so you can try and fit suitable rcbo's. You are installing it in a new location. You must comply with current BS7671 regs. The work must be notified to LBC. The work must be done by a qualified Electrician who is a member of a scheme so the work can be done properly, to current regs, certified and notify LBC. If you want yours electrics done right and have no issues later on if and when you want to sell the property then pay a qualified Electrician to do it right, if your not going to do that then stop asking questions on here and ask your own Electrician who's charging you £250 and on about installing a sub standard board. Good Luck.Really? please explain.

Do what you want, I've only been doing Electrics for over 20 years, done an apprenticeship etc. What do I know, but don't come posting on here when you can't get it signed off because you have used a plastic board and not a metal clad one as per the regs but what the hell, just do what you want.I,m more in the camp of post #50.
Your making it sound a bigger job than it actually is. Existing CCU is perfectly up-gradable.
Let him find out the hard way as he keeps telling us what he's doing even though he's not qualified, his polish electrician can determine that.i may be wrong here, not having used a starbreaker board for ages, but aren't some of thos busbar slots Neutrals for the D/P RCBOs?

i stand corrected. just was looking at a couple of RCDs i have in stock from a strip-out. 2 porongs, but the N is separate so those 2 prongs must both be L's. if that makes sense.No Tel, the supply Neutral is behind the load neutral, it is hard to see. its a bit clearer here......

I use starbreaker a lot!
Sorry I thought you where the OP, my apologies, he just needs to sort it out with his electrician and stop posting on every forum under the Sun, again sorry, I've had a carp day with a carp CPN board that shouldn't even be allowed to be sold.Calm down mate, Ive been doing it a fair bit longer than you and know what i,m talking about.
The op is fishing on various sites for info........does the mystery polish electrician exist? I doubt it. I'm just debating whether the existing ccu can be re used.
No starbreaker are not obsolete.
